I liked this story. When we lived with our Grandma growing up, we always have cats because there was a stray that had kittens left and right it seemed. It is just difficult to resist a little helpless kitty. The ones we brought home were always mean strays though and to this day I don't know how we were ever able to tame them. But it seemed that the more mean the cat, the more lovable he or she was once tamed. At one time we had 3 adults and 5 kittens from one of the liters. Haha Ashton looks like he has tiger stripes. Like a gray tiger.:D

There comes a time in your life when you walk away from all of the drama and the people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right and pray for those who don’t. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of life, getting back up is living.
